Thanking Those Who Served and Serve

As we approach another Memorial Day holiday weekend, with its barbecues and beach parties and so on, let's not forget to remember what the day is for: to remember those who have served, and those who continue to serve, so that we can enjoy the peace and freedom to grill in our backyards and play safely on the beach.

Many of them paid the ultimate price. We owe them a huge debt, and the same to their families and loved ones, who shared just as much in the pain and sacrifice.

Hats off and eternal gratitude to the men and women who give up so much so that we don't have a to give up anything.

Happy and peaceful Memorial Day to all. Thanks Dad, and rest in peace.

The New Real Deal

Amazing. The same things matter to us: jobs, security, national defense, liberty, life, the freedom to which we are and should be accustomed, and the pursuit of happiness. Why can't we agree on the fundamentals? Because really the same things don't matter to us in the same ways. So the rhetoric goes on, the debate(s) continue, and we don't really make any forward progress.

And the beat goes on.

Civil Debate

No matter what your political views, let's commit to civil debate.

Venture Capital

The notion that being a successful private equity venture capitalist qualifies one to be the chief executive of the country is nonsense. It just is.
